New Echo Chamber LLM jailbreak method employs “steering seeds” to evade safety guardrails.

Jailbreak techniques for large language models (LLMs) have evolved from simple prompt injections to sophisticated multi-turn strategies that exploit contextual vulnerabilities. The newly discovered Echo Chamber jailbreak, pioneered by NeuralTrust researcher Ahmad Alobaid, represents a significant advancement in adversarial tactics. Unlike direct attacks, it employs iterative β€œsteering seeds” to subtly manipulate model responses while evading safety guardrails.

New TokenBreak attack bypasses LLM protective guardrails.

A newly discovered cyber attack technique, called TokenBreak, targets the tokenization process of text classification models, particularly those used as protective guardrails for large language models (LLMs). The attack exploits how certain tokenizers break down and interpret text, allowing adversaries to bypass content moderation, safety, toxicity, and spam detection systems with minimal changes to input text.
